Hello.

So, I signed up for this site a couple of days ago with no problems at all. Browsed a little and posted in a couple of threads. Then, I come back the next day and it simply won't load! Really bizarre! I'm having to connect using a VPN!

It really doesn't make sense, I can access practically every other website on the web, and why would there be a block on this website?

Anyone else in Taiwan (Taipei using Chunghua Telecom) have this issue??

Probably because the IP subnet you tried to use the second day produces an excessive number of spammers it has been blocked. I seriously doubt it was the same subnet as the one you registered from; that's not spam-heavy so far.
